Read the latest developments..⬇️ 🔹 US Secretary of State Rubio, in a phone call with the Iraqi Prime Minister, emphasized the need to prosecute those who attack American oil companies. Rubio noted that the United States has withdrawn its support for Iraq's prosperity due to Iranian influence, and urged Iraq to confront this influence. The United States expressed concern about integrating the Popular Mobilization Forces or keeping their leaders in the political arena, warning of tension in US-Iraq relations, according to an Iraqi source citing US embassy officials. 🔹 The US Treasury tightens sanctions on Iranian-backed groups in Iraq, possibly targeting supportive media outlets. There's speculation Iraqi PM may coordinate with the US against his opponents, linking it to Syria's situation and the need to maintain the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) amid regional challenges. 🔹 Iran plans to deploy fighters in Iraq during Hajj, restore ties with Muqtada al-Sadr, and secure support from Russia and China to counter Turkish interests. Special Envoy Barak is set for urgent talks with the SDF, Israel, and Lebanon, raising security concerns for Turkey. 🔹 Barak stated that Syria could become "Libya or Afghanistan, or perhaps worse," due to reports of atrocities committed by government forces and Bedouin militias, accused of affiliating with ISIS in disguise. Reports have indicated that Washington may want the SDF and coalition forces in Sweida to confront ISIS and stop Iranian-backed smuggling operations by Bedouin militias. 🔹 The 210th Bashan Division and the IDF's Unit XXX conducted raids in southern Syria, arresting arms dealers and confiscating various weapons based on intelligence information. The operation targeted individuals involved in arms transfers. 🔹 Israeli forces launched a ground offensive in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, amid ongoing airstrikes that reportedly killed at least XX people. The IDF also confirmed the killing of a Hezbollah operative in southern Lebanon, with reports of airstrikes using bunker-buster bombs in the area. 🔹 Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa is facing pressure to ally with Arab states to phase out foreign fighters, jeopardizing relations with Turkey due to the extension of Caesar Act sanctions. A forthcoming report on violations by the Ministry of Defense and Bedouin militias may point to sectarian motives, as opposed to reports of "retaliatory" coastal clashes. 🔹 Tehran and Ankara are aligned in their strategic interests against Israel, using the Gaza conflict to weaken Israeli military operations. Turkey aims to keep the Iranian regime subservient to it. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman also praised the efforts of Turkey and Pakistan during the Gaza crisis. 🔹 Despite reports that Turkey is exploiting its relations with Azerbaijan and Iraqi Kurdistan to support Israeli operations inside Iran, and there have been reports of clashes in northern Iran with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the current US envoy, involved with the Syrian Democratic Forces, is urging Turkey to change its tactics by exploiting agreements in Somalia to indirectly help China assist the Houthis in pressuring Israel, affecting the port of Eilat amid ongoing losses. 🔹 Israel is working to deter EU countries, Saudi Arabia, and some Gulf Cooperation Council states from supporting the Palestinian declaration of statehood, leading to US cuts to UNESCO and relief aid in Israel. The Knesset may vote to support sovereignty in the West Bank. 🔹 Israel may escalate its actions against the Axis of Resistance and Hezbollah's financing operations, with the opening of new branches of the Al-Qard Al-Hassan Bank, which could lead to money laundering. Iraq sends cash amid financial disputes, and the Iraqi Prime Minister offered it $XX million for the reconstruction of Lebanon during the Arab Summit held in Baghdad.
